THE LADY SARAH STORY • Evan William Howell was a god-fearing man with a keen business mind and an eye on the future. Arriving in Herefordshire via the old drover’s roads from Carmarthenshire around 1900, Evan moved into Church Farm in the village of St. Weonards in the far south of the county, writes Mike Brown.

BACK TO ITS BEST • The Newark Vintage Tractor & Heritage Show has been rather up and down in recent years, but it was back to its best on 4-5 November for its 20th anniversary show when a huge crowd was seen on both days. There is a new team running the show under chairman Roger Jackson and Terry Shaw, chairman of the NVTEC Nottingham Vintage Tractor & Engine Club, and it somehow gave the show a refreshed approach in more ways than one even if the formula is similar to before.
